Mujaddara Advise?

Recently I discovered Mujaddra (Lebanese Lentil and Rice). I'm flat out in love with this vegetarian dish. Definitely a fried eggs best friend.

I wonder if others have any experience with this dish? I've read at least twenty recipes on the web and have cooked it three times. Its not giving me that same yummy warm feeling like this Lebanese restaurant in Raleigh. I'd love any feedback.

One trick I learned was to cook the Bulgur (or Rice) in the drained water of the lentils. I was also going to use the whey from the drained yogurt in place of the water too.

Ras al hanout is like curry....everyone has their own blend. I've tried to nail down my own formula but it's still a WIP. Just not quite right yet. Got any pics of the final product?

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - Lawrence

My wife loves this dish also and created hers from about 3 different recipes.

Cut 3 medium to large onions into thin rings. Fry in 1/3 cup grapeseed oil until they are brown and crispy (almost burnt). Set aside to drain.

In 1 cup water, cook 1/2 cup lentils, 1 chopped carrot (not traditional, but adds a nice color and flavor), and 5-6 sliced cloves of garlic. Cook ~25-30 minutes covered (they should not be done at this point). For this, she only adds pepper and cumin.

In a larger pot add 1/2 cup rice and toast slightly. Take 1/2 of the onions and put into the rice pot. Add 1 cup water and let the rice cook in the onion water. When the pot gets dry, add the contents of the lentil pot in with the rice (there should be some water left in this pot). Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes and add water as needed.

When serving your dish, add some of the crispy fried onions on top for garnish...and remember to enjoy!
